Alaniy are willing to accept, a namell for a thing, a shbadowv for a substanco, but hie whlo thiniks is obliged to ask htimself if any radical idea can be progress? Th'le history of radicalism has been uni form from the earliest dayn of history. .I'owerful it, is to destroy, but totally in capable of buildinig up(, andl for an ob Violns reason. F~rom the very nature of man; he must ho imperfect. Perfection belongs alone1 to God, anld humanity must have human veaknmoss, hmnan frailty and hutman passion. Tlho same feelity wvhich inducees the party in pow. er *,0 keep toin tates under the iron heol of iliitary authority for years after armis have settled the quesitions in dis. punto, has from theo beginning of recorded te all radical parties to porecute thoso to wvhom they hiave becen opposed, thioso with whom they differed.

Wi men and useful thinkors, those who adok to promoto and wvho do promote the wolaro of their fellow 1nen, are apt to place themselves on a middle ground between two extremes of opinion. In 16.41, the doetrino of divino rights or Kings clashed against the doctrino of popular rights. The King was beheaded and a more powerful ruler under tho naimo of protector seized the reins of government. lo died, aid tIhe Stuart asicenle'd the throne, having forgotten nono of his follios and having lonrned no new lessons of' wisdom. IH cre chil idon in turn appered to have gained the victory, and yet both thoughts had lived each in turn apparently to he crushed out of existence. Tho impress of' each, however, had been left, and in 1088 the compromiso betwat-n the two had been ef'ectod. William and Mary ascended the throne, and under a government combining all that was good in the two theories, England has prospered and arrown every yonr greator and more powerful. In France wo see the same result produced from the samo cses. 1Tho ,Kingly assertion 'dut c'est moi, "I am the State," clashed with the pop. ular cry, the people are all poweril, down with aristocrats. Louis XV 1, a good man, bIt too much r. 3ourbon to know how, or when to coinproiise, wns guillotined. I ladicalisa prodtced Marat, Dantonm, Itobespierro.
